Description
This wall mount hammer rack is a 30 x 10cm carbon steel bar that screws to a wall and holds hammers, pliers, mallets and other hand tools by the handle, from $26.29 for a single rack or $48.73 for a two pack. It gets heavy tools up off the bench and into a row where you can see every one of them at a glance.
The reason tools end up in a pile is that hammers do not stack, hang or stand neatly. They roll off shelves, they slide to the bottom of a toolbox under everything else, and a claw hammer left flat on a bench takes up more room than it has any right to. A steel rack fixed to the wall solves it in the simplest way possible - the head rests on the bar, the handle hangs down, and the tool is both stored and on display. Because it is screwed into the wall rather than clipped to a pegboard, it will take the weight of a full sized club hammer without pulling out.

Why Choose This Wall Mount Tool Rack
-
Screw fixed, not clipped - it fastens directly to the wall or a timber stud, so it holds real weight rather than relying on a pegboard hook that can lift out.
-
Carbon steel construction - steel rather than moulded plastic, which matters when the load is a row of steel headed tools.
-
Everything visible at once - tools hang side by side instead of stacking, so you stop digging through a toolbox to find the one you want.
-
Compact 30cm footprint - short enough to fit between studs, above a bench, or on the inside of a shed door where space is otherwise wasted.
-
Two pack available - run two racks in a line for a longer wall, or split them between a garage and a shed.
How Many Tools Will a Wall Mounted Hammer Rack Hold?
Across a 30cm rack you can generally expect to hang somewhere between four and six typical hand tools, though the honest answer is that it depends entirely on the handles. Slim pliers and tack hammers sit close together and you will fit more. A club hammer, a rubber mallet and a framing hammer have thick heads and wide handles, and three of those will use most of a 30cm bar on their own. If you are storing a mixed collection, work on around five as a planning number, and pick the two pack if you are outfitting a full workbench wall rather than a corner.
What Wall Types Can You Screw a Steel Tool Rack Into?
Timber studs are the ideal fixing, and in a garage or shed with exposed framing you can screw straight into them with standard timber screws. Into masonry or brick, use a masonry bit and plastic or nylon wall plugs rated for the load. The one to be careful with is plasterboard on its own - a rack loaded with hammers is a serious hanging weight, and a plain screw into plasterboard will eventually tear out. If you cannot hit a stud, use proper metal toggle or spring anchors rated well above the weight you plan to hang. Fixings are not included, because the right screw depends entirely on your wall.
Where Should You Mount a Tool Rack in a Garage?
The useful height is roughly between shoulder and eye level when you are standing at the bench, because that is where you can reach a tool without looking for it and where a hanging handle will not catch you as you walk past. Directly above a workbench is the obvious spot, but the inside face of a shed or cupboard door is often better used space, and so is the wall beside a doorway that is otherwise too narrow for shelving. Two things to check before you drill: that nothing hangs down into the swing of a car door or a bench vice handle, and that the rack is out of easy reach of small children, since hammers and chisels stored at low height are a genuine hazard.
Buyers are typically people fitting out a garage or shed and getting hand tools off the bench and onto the wall, tradespeople organising a van or trailer wall, and anyone who has just moved and is setting up a workspace from scratch. It is also bought as a practical gift for someone who has the tools but no system, and by workshops and men's sheds who buy the two pack and run several racks along a single wall.
You will find the tools to hang on it in our tools and hardware collection, and more wall and shelf solutions in storage and organisation. Our essentials range covers the everyday workshop items, and home and garden has the outdoor and shed side of things.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are screws or wall plugs included?
No. Fixings are not supplied, because the correct screw or anchor depends on whether you are fixing into timber, masonry or plasterboard.
How much weight will it hold?
The rack itself is carbon steel and the limiting factor in almost every installation is the wall and the fixings you use, not the rack. Fix into a timber stud or use masonry anchors and the practical limit will be well beyond a row of hand tools.
What is the difference between the 1 piece and 2 piece options?
Only the quantity. Both options supply the same 30 x 10cm carbon steel rack; the two pack simply includes two of them.
Will it hold tools other than hammers?
Yes. Anything with a head wider than its handle will hang on it - mallets, pliers, adjustable spanners, tin snips, hatchets and similar.
Can it be mounted outdoors?
It is designed for a garage, shed or workshop. Carbon steel will surface rust if left exposed to weather, so keep it undercover.
Does it come pre-drilled?
The rack is designed to be screw mounted. Check the fixing points against your wall before drilling and mark the holes with the rack held in position.
Can I mount it vertically?
It is designed to be mounted horizontally so tools hang down from the bar. Mounting it any other way is not what the design is intended for.
